If we’re running into issues, as we did, unfortunately with Helene, where some people are flooded in, can’t make it to work, then we need to be a little bit nimble and make sure that we have our shifts filled,
I’m not a lifelong Floridian, but I’ve been in Florida six years now, and I think that’s something that makes this one feel a little bit different,
We’re probably on the highest ground in Sarasota and we’re the largest hospital,
We have linens, you know, everything that you’ll need,
Not knowing what happened, what was happening to them, was extremely stressful,
This could be the worst storm to hit Florida in over a century,
So if you’re in it, basically that’s the coffin that you’re in,
Today’s the last day to get ready,
I think we’ll just hang, you know, tough it out,
All this crap is going to be missiles,
We are already very saturated. It's not going to take much water, and rainfall well ahead of this storm is going to put rivers into flood already,
Most of our rivers in west central and south Florida will be going into some stage of flood over the coming days,
Do you live near a river, canal or creek? As Hurricane #Milton approaches the Florida West Coast, please keep in mind that storm surge can travel inland up these waterways,
There's never been one like this,
It all depends on the river,
Some of us may have had it in the backs of our minds that it's going to turn or it's going to miss us,
Pinellas County is asking anyone who has not yet evacuated to do so now,
Pinellas County will continue to provide updates on potable water service and sewer service before, during and after the storm via email and text alerts to utilities' customer account holders,
This is playing out to be one of our worst case scenarios for our area,
There is really no frame of reference for what that looks like here,
